Will it be Alia Bhatt opposite three newcomers in Gauri Shinde - KJO's next venture?

Alia Bhatt has a good lineup of movies coming up. There is Shandaar opposite Shahid Kapoor, which is all set to release on October 22. Alia is working on the Karan Johar movie 'Kapoor and Sons' with Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan. There is also Udta Punjab, which stars Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

It seems that Alia will soon be adding another feather to her cap with the Karan Johar - Gauri Shinde movie. News has it that KJO has zeroed in on his protege for this movie and director Gauri has also given her consent. Apparently, there will be three newcomers cast opposite Alia for this one.

Gauri Shinde's directorial debut 'English Vinglish' (2012) starring Sridevi became a super hit at the box office. This will be Gauri's second project and expectations are high from the movie. Official confirmations regarding Alia are yet awaited.
